Doncaster 1-0 Burton
Saturday 10 October 2026 18:12, UK
Leon Ayinde’s first EFL goal was enough to move Doncaster out of League One’s bottom four with a 1-0 home win over Burton.
Doncaster posed the greater attacking threat for much of the game, with Ipswich loanee Ayinde particularly threatening on the right.
However, it took an excellent save from Rovers goalkeeper Tommy Simkin to push Matthew Dennis' low strike onto the far post in the early stages.
Tom Nixon curled wide after a fine run from Ayinde while Neill Byrne flashed a header off target as Doncaster pushed.

They took the lead two minutes into time added on in the first half when Ayinde capped a rapid counter-attack by drilling in at the far post from the corner of the box.
Burton's Charlie Webster sent a dipping effort narrowly over the bar early in the second half while Alfie May lashed a volley off the top of the bar from 20 yards on the hour for Rovers.
Burton mounted a late barrage with Harvey Araujo somehow heading wide from close range while Gbemi Arubi was denied on the line by the legs of Simkin as Doncaster held on.
